Advisory Council (IRSAC) members. 

Interested parties may nominate 

themselves and/or one other qualified 

person for membership. Nominations 

will be accepted for current vacancies 

and should describe and document the 

applicants qualifications for 

membership. IRSAC is comprised of 

twenty-seven (27) members; 

approximately one-third of these 

appointments will expire in December

continue to represent a diverse taxpayer 

and stakeholder base. Accordingly, to 

maintain membership diversity, 

selection is based on the applicant’s 

qualifications as well as the segment or 

group that he/she represents. 

The Internal Revenue Service 

Advisory Council (IRSAC) provides an 

organized public forum for IRS officials 

and representatives of the public to 

discuss relevant tax administration 

issues. The council advises the IRS on 

issues that have a substantive effect on 

federal tax administration. As an 

advisory body designed to focus on 

broad policy matters, the IRSAC reviews 

existing tax policy and/or recommends 

policies with respect to emerging tax 

administration issues. The IRSAC 

suggests operational improvements, 

offers constructive observations 

regarding current or proposed IRS 

policies, programs, and procedures, and 

advises the IRS with respect to issues 

having substantive effect on federal tax 

administration. 

DATES: Written nominations must be 

received on or before June 15, 2007.
